Alamea—

I woke up with the warm rays of sun flooding our room in light. I looked to my side and noticed that Lily and Kataira were still sleeping heavily. Jasmine’s small snores were also audible. I turned to my small digital clock. It was about 6:45 am. I stood up and glimpsed at myself in the long mirror at the door. My long dark brown hair was tangley and puffed out from sleep. My dark blue T-Shirt was tucked into light green shorts.

I yawned once and rubbed my eyes. Then I took my cream-colored towel from our small drying rack and got up to take my shower.

I closed the door quietly as not to wake any of my sleeping roommates. I walked down the stained wood hall until I came to the floor’s bathroom. While I was brushing my hair in front of the long row of sinks, Eli came in. Her strawberry blond hair was open and frazzled. Her bright blue eyes were filled with worry.

“Have you seen Callen?” she asked quietly.

“No, is she not there?” I replied.

“Her bed was left unmade but she isn’t there. I have no idea where she could be…”

“Did she go to bed with you?”

“Oh, yes. She fell asleep before me.”

I looked at Eli with a churning fear in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t know what to sa yand just stood there in a slight shock. Eli was also quiet and bit her lip.

“Eli, we can ask Jacob! I think he’d know!”

Eli’s face brightened as I told her of my idea. I ran back to the room and pulled on some clothes vaguely.

Eli and I snuck through the passages, hoping not to be caught by some prowling teacher. We walked up the steps to the boys’ dormitory. The hall looked quite the same as ours. I scanned through the room numbers until I found Room 26.

“Are you sure that’s them?” Eli questioned me.

I shrugged in reply. I truly didn’t know but I was pretty sure.

I slowly turned the door handle and held my breath, hoping we weren’t in the wrong place.

A boy with olive skin and sandy blonde hair stared at me. I knew exactly who it was. Egan. That’s what Mrs. Hale had called him. The boy raised eyebrows and grinned somewhat.

“Wrong room but you can stay. Who are you?” He studied Eli and me. I rolled my eyes, boys.

“Jacob Ingelecton. Where is he?” I inquired, annoyed.

“Oh, you know Jacob? You aren’t Elizabeth… A new girl?”

I felt like punching this sandy haired bloke.

“No! Ineed to know where his sister is!” I ejaculated, irritated.

“Oh, you mean Callen. I think she’s with her ostrich.”

My thoughts were swirling. Why was she with her ostrich? Was Rome hurt? I decided not to ask the youth because he would probably say something else that was irritatingly stupid.

“Thanks.” I turned and my dark brown hair swished past his face.

“I’m Banier by the way! We’ll be seeing each other!” he called after me as I walked out with Eli.

“Rome? The ostrich?” Eli said confused.

“For responsibility lessons. Boys are such idiots,” I muttered.

I saw a swift smile cross Eli’s face.

We rushed out to the ostrich pen and I ran into it. Callen was kneeling on the ground sobbing next to Rome. Her light brown hair was scraggly and as she turned to me her eyes were puffy and red from crying.

I rushed to Callen’s side and embraced her tightly. I felt her wet tears sink into my shirt.

“He-he got in a fight, at least that’s what they say. I’ve never seen a fight end this badly. They’re looking for the other ostrich’s owner right now. Oh my gosh! What if Rome dies!?” Callen started to whimper and then she cried even harder. Eli slowly knelt down next to Callen.

“It’ll be OK, Callen. The doctors can help him.”

“But he’s too hurt. These may be his last hours,” Callen bawled.

“Shh, Callen, Rome’s a strong ostrich, he’ll make it!” I tried to sound reassuring, but I also saw that there wasn’t much hope. Rome was covered in blood and his wing was bandaged at a wrong angle.

Callen kept weeping into my shirt and held on to me hard. “He can’t die! Oh Romy!” Callen wailed.

I didn’t say anything. I just sat there quietly and listened to Callen’s whimpering.

Sorry I won't be able to post today. Will explain tomorrow!

That is really amazing Elizabeth M. I will post something when I can see everyone's posts.

Sorry, I can't write much today, but I will tomorrow! Great posts everyone!

Okay, maybe I will get to post. :-)

I woke up with a start. What time is it? I thought. I glanced at Alamea's digital clock on her bedside table. It read 7:15. I rolled over and climbed out of bed. Jasmine and Lily were still sleeping soundly, but one glance at the bunk bed next to me told me that Alamea was already awake and out of bed. I pulled on my uniform and hurried over to the bathroom to see if Alamea was there. A quiet bathroom showed no signs of her. Where could she be? I thought. I came back from the bathroom and quietly turned the doorhandle on room 16. As I stepped into the room, Aika rolled over and sat up. "Who is it?" she asked.

"It's me, Kataira," I whispered. "Do you know where Alamea is?"

"No," Aika replied. She glanced over at Eli and Callen's bed and saw only rumpled bedsheets. "Where's Eli and Callen?"

"Probably with Alamea," I said. "Come on, Aika. Let's go find them."

Oh, and I'll post from Eli's view tomorrow. Great post, Elizabeth!

I think that Persian dance should replace Tango.

I woke up and looked at the clock. 7:28 it said I looked at the other beds and saw that it was just me and Jasmine. "Hey Jas," I said loudly, "wake up." She awoke with a start. "What?" she said sleepily. "The others are gone. I think we should find out where they went." "Breakfast probably."

"Well, we should find out." Jasmine got out of bed and stretched. I did the same and went to the closet to get my clothes. I remembered that on Sundays, like today, we could wear things other than our uniforms, as long as we followed the dress code. So instead of the uniform I grabbed a a dark blue cotton dress that I loved. I went to the bathroom, got dressed hurredl,y and brushed my teeth. I let my hair down from it's messy crown and decided I would just have it down today so I quickly brushed it and pulled it back from my face with two barretes. I went back to the room and found Jas there in jeans and a t-shirt seemingly happy to be out of her uniform.

"Let's go," I said. "Okay. I think we should go to room 16 first to see if they know where Alamea and Kateira went."

So we walked to room 16 and knocked. No one answered. "Maybe they're all at breakfast or trying to find missing roomates," I suggested. "Maybe."

We walked down to the cafeteria. When we reached it, we looked at tables 14 and 16 and saw no one. "Well, who would know where they went?" I asked. "Jacob maybe." We looked to see if he was at his room's table (Forgot which room that is). He was there so we walked over to his table and asked, "Do you know where Callen is?" "Yes, she's with her ostrich," he said, looking exasperated. Must be because they asked him the same thing, I thought. "Thank you," I said aloud. We walked outside towards the ostrich pen. We went to where Rome's was and saw Callen sobbing by him with Alamea comforting her. Rome was in a bad condition with a broken wing and blood everywhere. The others were standing outside looking sad. I went inside and went over to Callen and asked, "What happened?" "They said he got into a fight. They're out looking for the owner of the other ostrich," she said between sobs. "Do you know whose ostrich it was?" I asked. She nodded. "Whose?" I asked. She didn't say she just continued sobbing.

I got out of the large car with the other students. I walked toward the school. I was glad to be back. I looked at my watch and saw it was 7:40. I had enough time to put my trunk in my room and get some breakfast. I went into the school and went to Mr. Duica's office. I got my room number from him and went up to my room. I stored my trunk in the closet and went down to the cafeteria. When I got there I looked around for my room number and saw it. The table had three other boys sitting around it. I recognized all three of them. I went over to the table and sat down. I put some of everything on my plate and started eating. Soon my plate was empty. I looked at my watch again and saw it was five to 8:00. Better get out of here before it closes, I thought. Before I could leave, Jacob said, "Want to come with us? We were going to go down to the ostritch pens." "Okay," I replied. They got up and I followed them out of the cafeteria.

//Callen//

I wept silently and hiccuped. Footsteps were coming from behind. Banier, Jacob, Leif, and some other boy, I think that his name was Darius or something, came around the corner. I jumped up and ran towards Jacob, embracing him in a huge hug. I didn't care that people were watching that Callen was giving Jacob a hug, (of all things), I just needed some familiar comfort. He patted my back as I sobbed into his soldier. Baneir walked up towards Rome, holding his hand out so that he could smell it. "Uh, Callen," he called. "Huh, what?" I muttered through sobs. "I think that you should see this." He pointed towards the spot where I had been crying on Rome's shoulder. It used to be dark red with blood and the feathers losing thier shine, but now the blood was fading away. I choked back a gasp, then collected myself. "E, Everyone leave. NOW! Except, for, Banier, Jacob, Eli, Aika, and Karanah. Leave!!" I screamed, and they all left quickly. I knelt down on a stool and looked at Jacob. Our conversation went a little like this: C: It's time to tell them. J: No, it's too soon. The year has just started. C: But Jacob, Banier already knows, and I think that the others sense something different about us. J: But Cal- C: JACOB. It's my decision. They will be living in the same room as me, Banier with you, and they already know too much. We might as well just end this. I don't want to live under a lie anymore. J: As you wish, Callen. Jacob winked, and time resumed order. "Look, guys. Jacob and I, well, we have something to tell you. Something, big. Banier, you already know. The rest of you, well, you should know by now. Jacob and I, well, we're fairies. Immortal messengers of nature. That is why my tears can heal Rome." I sighed and took a step back. Jacob, smiling, said, "That's why we all have startling good looks." I blushed. "Yes, because we are immortal, the fairy court can't stand to have servants who are ugly, so we are born beautiful." Banier stepped back a bit, but Eli, Aika, and Karanah just stared at me. This was going to be a rough year.

That is pretty interesting. I like it a lot, but it isn't going to be a huge part of the RP is it? Because I don't think it should be too much of it. Only a little. Oh and won't the people in Jacob's room find out too?

Yeah, I guess that Jacob's roommates would find out, sooner or later. I was really tired while writing this, so I didn't thik things through. And no, it won't become the whole RP. It'll just be a little side thing that would pop up everyonce and a while, but not like the whole thing.

@Elizabeth M: (Sorry if it was Elizabeth D, sometimes I get you guys mixed up!) Thanks, it took me forevers to make that table. Yes, I figured that GenkuSuh had to have some strictness, so Saturday school it was! If it should be a religious school, we could make some kind of church-y thing on Sundays, but I didn't know how you guys would have felt.

Please post everybody! This thread is really great and it's kind of hard to post when you were the last one to post. So, please keep this thread alive!

I was wondering if there will be any dances, parties etc.

Banier—

I was sprawled out on my bed with Billy Joel’s Piano Man blasting into my ears. I didn’t notice the door open until I saw Jacob plop down on the bunk beside me. I turned off the music and set it down.

“So, you’re a fairy huh?” I said kind of awkwardly to break the silence between us.

“Um… Yeah, but kind of a half human half fairy thing. The eyes and our tears can do other things than humans can but we’re still human in other ways.” Jacob’s voice was quiet and he was acting really… Strange. I guess we weren’t supposed to know. I’d never asked him about his eyes. I’d imagined that he had contact lenses on…

“But you’re not like Thumbelina, right?”

Jacob seemed like he was either going to double over laughing or punch me in the face.

“Dude! Thumbelina was a girl and I’m half fairy, remember?”

“Uh… right…”

“Don’t tell the whole school, otherwise the gals won’t like me.”

There he was the usual Jacob. His only worry, what the girls thought of him.

“Ya know what, Jacob. Let’s go buy a coke near the stand outside to celebrate this… uh… amazing event!”

Jacob grinned and punched me in the arm playfully.

As we got down into the courtyard, I detected a group of about five girls. They were sitting on some benches.

Two were sitting next to each other and looked exactly alike with braided strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. I had seen one of them before. To the right of one girl sat a girl with long straight black hair, olive skin and green eyes. Next to her a girl with very tan skin, dark brown hair and hazel eyes and finally a girl I recognized all to well. Her hair was in a braid and she had fine caramel skin.

“THEY’RE WHAT?” I heard the girl with the dark brown hair yell.

One of the twins made a motion to be quiet and looked around,noticing my gaze she rolled her eyes and turned back to the others.

Jacob and I bought our cokes.

“See those two! They came to our room this morning!”

“I’ve already asked the girl with the braid to sit next to me at lunch.”

“And?” No girl would decline that.

“She didn’t really say anything…”

We walked up to the group and Jacob walked up in front of me.

“Fairy Henchman at your service.”

The girls looked at him weirdly and then the girl with the braid whispered.

“See, I told you he was an idiot.”

The girl with the straight black hair stood up.

“We don’t really need you here right now so scram or you’ll get it!” She was tough.

Jacob rolled his eyes and turned around.

“Oh well. We’ve still got the ball to ask them.”
